Margaret Thatcher
There might be new technology, but technological progress itself was nothing new - and over the years it had not destroyed jobs, but created them.
Margaret Thatcher
A leader is someone who knows what they want to achieve and can communicate that.
Margaret Thatcher
I calculate that I was responsible for proposing the elevation to the Lords of some 214 of its present numbers.
Margaret Thatcher
I am not immortal, but I've got a lot left in me yet.
Margaret Thatcher
Marxists get up early to further their cause. We must get up even earlier to defend our freedom.
Margaret Thatcher
(On The International Criminal Court) For the victors of the Cold War to submit to an unelected, unaccountable, and almost certainly hostile body such as that envisaged would be the ultimate irony.
Margaret Thatcher
